== Frequently Asked Questions ==
+
 
+
=== How can I change values I've entered in the prompt dialog (e.g., my "git.user.id") once that dialog is gone? ===
+
In your installed IDE there should be button with a blue person in the main toolbar. Please click it to open your setup preferences. All prompted values are stored as VariableTasks in there and you're able to change them. (see [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=428268 Bug 428268])
+
 
+
=== How can I use a SSH private key with a custom file name (different from "id_dsa,id_rsa")? ===
+
In your setup preferences (see above) you have to add an "Eclipse Preferences" task to set the custom file name. The key of this node should be "/instance/org.eclipse.jsch.core/PRIVATEKEY", its value should be the name (not the path) of your private key file (e.g. "eclipse.ppk").
+
 
+
=== How can I use a custom SSH configuration directory? ===
+
In your setup preferences (see above) you have to add an "Eclipse Preferences" task to set the custom file name. The key of this node should be "/bundle_defaults/org.eclipse.jsch.core/SSH2HOME", its value should be the fully qualified path to your SSH configuration directory.
